Okay, you recommend not to have / (not /root) in a LogVol. But you
don't specify what you do recommend (what in a LogVol and what not).
What about /boot or /root?

As I've stated numerous times in the past, I strongly recommend you not
have your root file system be an LV. That's not an official Novell
position, but mine based on numerous incidents over the years of
mistakes being made, and having a very difficult time correcting them.
Others disagree, but working in technical support has provided me with
the unfortunate opportunity of saying things like "you don't have a
backup of your entire system? Gee, that's a real shame."

This seems a little odd, since you stated in your very first note that
the DASD volumes were "activated and formatted." I've only seen this
error code when dasdfmt had not yet been run on a volume (or LDL was
chosen manually instead of the default CDL).
